Membership at The Crossing Church
2025 Membership renewal is open!
As a church, we begin every new year by taking some time to refocus on what it means to be a member of The Crossing Church. In this season, each member is invited to renew your commitment to Gather (Heb. 10:24-25), Go (Matt. 28:18-20), Grow (Eph. 4:15), and Give (2 Cor. 9:6-8).
The goal of membership renewal is to help us have a plan and be intentional in living out the lives that God has called us to live -- nothing more, nothing less (1 Cor. 7:17). As the saying goes, if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Without a plan, we naturally drift away from Jesus. Therefore membership renewal matters because it gives us a yearly plan to help us daily take up our cross and follow Jesus in his mission (Luke 9:23).
If you are not yet a member, join us for our first Basics class on 2025 on January 26th!
Upcoming Basics Class Date: January 26th • 12-1:30p
At our quarterly basics class, you will learn from pastors of the church about our vision for this church in Paragould, AR. You will hear about how we began, why we began, and what we envision discipleship to Jesus looks like. You won’t be strong-armed into something you don’t want to sign-up for, but in order to become a member of The Crossing Church, you need to have taken Basics and fill out a membership form.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A MEMBER OF THE CROSSING CHURCH?
Our vision as a church is that we exist to see Paragould look less like Hell and more like Heaven by creating a safe space where wounded sinners can be connected, healed, equipped, and sent.
TO BE A MEMBER OF THE CROSSING CHURCH IS TO COMMIT TO THE VISION AND MISSION.
On a practical level, a member of The Crossing is committed to four goals:
Gather - we gather on Sunday for corporate worship, but we also highly value gathering weekly in Crossing Communities for family meal and connection.
Grow - we believe disciples take responsibility for their own growth, but are also committed to growing together with their church family. One of the practical ways we grow is through a DNA group
Go - we are called by Jesus to go and make disciples and teaching them all that he commanded. He never sent someone out alone to do this, but rather sent them out in pairs or groups.
Give - we are blessed by God in order to be a blessing to others. In our time, talents, and treasures, we are called to steward the resources God has given us for his glory and the good of our community.
